Brian Davey Poet Verse

Letting Go

Letting Go (3 Form Contest)



Loss lingers upon this barren heart
Eventually it seemed as if I'd fall apart
The suffering was driven within me
The torture was evident for all to see
Intellectually numb unfocused brow
Nothing is all that I felt somehow
Going, going, going but not yet gone

Giving up? No not this one
Opening a new book I've just begun

                   My inner conflict of fault and doubt
                     Fighting amongst another unwilling to heal
                   The lights were on but yet seemed burnt out
                      Now the pain I choose to feel

                              Do I blame myself
                       Now that you're gone forever
                               No not anymore

Sandra Haight April 3, 2016 at 8:35 AM Very well done using these three forms, Brian, and so full of emotional imagery. Life can be like a see-saw, and we're always trying to find that balance that keeps us on an even keel. Best wishes for the contest.

Poet Destroyer A April 2, 2016 at 2:09 PM You have a great ending, sometimes we do selfblame... the imagery is dark, deep, and sad... However you come out strong at the end, Brian.....Linda Brian Davey April 4, 2016 at 1:43 PM That is how my life seems to play out dark, deep, sad, and I always pull through happy in the end!
